Almond Shampoo
Almond Shampoo
Antica Barbieria Colla
Antica Barbieria Colla has been Milan's barbershop since 1904, still run today by the Bompieri family.
The Almond Shampoo is where Antica Barbieria Colla began. Dino Colla created it in 1924, twenty years after he opened the barbieria, and it was, from the first, the product his clients talked about most. The recipe has been passed down intact through every change of ownership since.
The central ingredient is almond oil - an ingredient with a longer history than most. Four thousand years ago, almond trees grew across Persia, Mesopotamia, and Palestine; the fruits were pressed for an oil valued for its softness on skin. It carries fatty acids close to those found in human sebum, along with vitamin E and protein. The effect on dry hair is nourishing without being heavy.

About the barbershop
Antica Barbieria Colla has been on Via Gerolamo Morone in Milan since 1944 - and in the city, without interruption, since 1904. Dino Colla opened the original barbieria near the Duomo that year, modelled on the private gentlemen's clubs of London. The house survived two addresses and a wartime bombing; Francesca Bompieri, whose father Franco ran it from 1975, runs it today. The product line - hair, skin, beard, shaving, and four signature colognes - traces its formulations to Colla himself, each recipe passed down and quietly refined through the generations of ownership that followed. Everything is hand-made in Italy by specialists who work in direct contact with the house.
